The
Full Moon takes place on 6 November 2014 at 21:23 GMT, when the Sun in Scorpio opposes the Moon in
Taurus.

Taurus
identifies with the outer, most exposed, ordinary parts and functions
of the body, such as the mouth and the act of nourishment, while Scorpio
relates with the inner, intimate, hidden zones and functions (genitals,
organic release, sex, reproduction and also death).

This
polarity exemplifies the dynamic between outer and inner mysteries. The
outer mystery incorporates what is acknowledged in the collective
environment, the ordinary traditions and customs of a specific culture
or community. It mainly provides a sense of union with other human
beings and secondly with the Divine, although the latter, as it is
identified in conventional reality, may also be an impostor or
fraudulent god-goddess.

The
inner mystery still aims at relating with the Divine, yet in a way that
does not necessarily receive the acknowledgement of other human beings,
at least of the majority of them, not to mention of the official
religions or ordinary gods-goddesses.

The
outer mystery involves all the members of the community, for it defines
and supports the collective identity of the tribe itself, as it is
legally accepted in consensus reality. The inner mystery is a
specialized non-ordinary zone, which requires a specific calling and is
not for everybody.

In
some ancient, or perhaps future, cultures the inner mystery work
harmoniously with the outer mystery. The two mysteries are still quite
different in their expression, with often opposed practices and ethics,
yet they are seen as part of the same wholeness, like day and night.

Since
those cultures aim at creating a balance between polarities, outer and
inner mysteries are both accepted and part of consensus reality.

The
outer mystery involve a connection among human beings living on those
planets and third dimension, whereas the inner mystery is
multidimensional. It aims at establishing a rapport with other
dimensions, such as the fourth dimension, the realm of the ancestors,
our future selves, etc. This relationship is not accessible to the
majority of people, who however support it through their direct
participation in the outer mystery and the acceptance of the inner
mystery.

Unfortunately
the balance between outer and inner mystery is mainly lost in the
current consensus reality. Outer and inner mysteries live separately,
with the former taking over and the latter being outlawed and
persecuted.

Samhain is a Celtic festival celebrated from sunset on 31 October to sunset on 1 November, marking the beginning of winter and the darkest time of the year. The
Celts divided the year into two sides: the light and the dark. Samhain
appeared to be the most important, for it represented the beginning of
the new cycle, when the seed of light is stirred in the darkness below
the ground, fertilising the womb and laying foundations for all growth.Before
recent cultures prevailed, the regenerative and renewing power of
darkness and death was widely understood. For ancient people life was
circular rather than linear, and darkness and death, far from being the
end of the journey, were
considered the energising and beginning point of everything. Upon them
depended the initiation of each cycle, just like the seed buried
underground in darkness, is the activator of the tree, leaves, fruits
and flowers that follow.

This was reflected in commencing each day at dusk rather than dawn, and in their new year starting with the festival of Samhain on 31 October, with the Celtic saying “from death and darkness springs life and light”.The power of Samhain and
the dark season, which is exemplified by the astrological sign of
Scorpio, is based on the awareness of the continuity of life through
death, the sliding from one universe to the other, the liberation from
human arbitrary slavery and the re-union with our multidimensional self.

The
Scorpio cycle offers increased opportunities for letting go of secret
and grieving stories that continue to affect our personal and collective
environment. The
first step here is being transparent. This involves facing the issue,
honestly acknowledging it, moving beyond denials. It is the first
decisive step in any healing enterprise. It is a most courageous and
decisive enterprise for it does not provide the perception that healing
is actually taking place. And this is the challenge.

Healing is indeed
copiously occurring, yet at a level which is beyond our perception,
which lies in the mystery school of life. Scorpio
is the custodian of the mysteries of what we truly are beyond the
identification with the physical body. This identification inescapably
expires through death, yet the awareness of death for Scorpio is at work
at all times since it abides right at the threshold of the
multidimensional gateway.

For many of us the time has come for allowing part of these mysteries to fully ground in our consciousness.

Mars is now firmly settled in Capricorn, where it will transit till 3 December 2014.

Mars in Capricorn is extremely focused and aims very high, especially
as regards practical manifestation of major goals and ambitious desires.

Multidimensionally,
Mars in Capricorn relates with the part in us, wherever it is in the
multidimensional realm, who is determined to reach our top objectives at
all costs.

Hence, with Sun in Scorpio and Mars in Capricorn,
this may be the ideal time to confront your highest dreams and be
relentless in your pursuit. You can decide whether you truly mean
business or not. In case you do, the next step is to find your
"champion".

In Multidimensional Astrology the "champion" is the
alternative self in a parallel universe who is more aligned with your
current life in this reality and has also fully manifested your present
goals.

Franco Santoro and his associates
offer a wide range of both basic and advanced training courses on holistic
spirituality, astroshamanism, experiential astrology, spiritual healing,
astroshamanic dance. These also include distant learning training module.

All our trainings are flexible and
adapted to each individual, according to their potentials and needs. We prefer
to have an interview or session with each candidate so as to assess together
what training format can be more beneficial. We usually suggest attending an
introductory workshop or a series of three individual sessions before
committing to a course or longer training. Trainings may involve individual
tuition, group modules and self-study distant learning.

The Operative Training in
Astroshamanis is a complete system of teaching aimed at providing a deep
investigation and experience of our soul journey both in the inner and outer
life. The basic intent of the training is to foster the reawakening of our
original multidimensional nature, the development and implementation of our
authentic talents, the release of grievances based on the perception of
separation and the integration of our body, soul and mind

The Operative Training in
Astroshamanism consists of three independent stages of initiation and is
accompanied by specific literature and manuals. The First Basic Level
represents the first stage. This training comprises 144 hours of teaching with
a flexible structure that can be tailored to fit individual needs and
situations, including a home-study course. Previous participation to an
astroshamanic workshop, or a cycle of three individual sessions, are a
prerequisite for attendance.

Before deciding to join the
Training, applicants will thoroughly examine their current life situation,
purpose and learning potentials in order to verify whether this step can truly
serve them. Entry into the Training also requires that intuition or specific
individual guidance (received through a shamanic journey, vision or dream)
proves that this work is appropriate.

The programme of the Training will
include significant experiences with shamanic states of consciousness as well
as relevant opportunities to ground the work in ordinary reality. Participants
will learn a wide range of shamanic techniques and directly explore the
astroshamanic cosmology as it is reflected in their inner and outer life. They
will receive initiation in specific healing and ceremonial practices in
accordance with each Sector of the Sacred Circle, integrating their shamanic
experiences with information drawn from astrology and other esoteric sources.

The curriculum of the Training has a
specific structure and there is a certain amount of work to do. At the end of
the journey, the energies of each of the 12 Sectors and four Directions of the
Sacred Circle will all be explored. The First Level has to do with building a
foundation for the spiritual journey and reawakening of our multidimensional
nature. According to astroshamanism, the existence of a stable container is
essential for the energies beyond ordinary perception not to get lost or
misused. The information and tools that are shared in the Training serve this
purpose.

For the first lessons the work is
preparatory. After this initial stage, the Trainee can start the exploration of
the 12 Sectors and four Directions. One of the strategic purposes of the
journeys in the Sectors is to activate tools of power, develop potentials,
release grievances, make agreements with Spirit Guides, planetary forces, Totem
Spirits, etc. and recall significant lost memories.

The practices and exercises related
to the Sectors are devised to accompany you on a quest for treasures and powers
that lie dormant within. This process strategically unfolds through
recognising, retrieving and expressing each of the 12 basic archetypes (Totem
Spirits) through our physical as well as emotional, mental and spiritual body.
This work involves learning a multidimensional language and requires patience,
constancy and attention mixed with sacred playfulness and adventure.

Astroshamanic Practitioner Training (APT)

A formation process aimed at training individuals to
become proficient astroshamanic practitioners. The APT consists of a general
charter applied to all trainees, and a specialised curriculum based on specific
individual talents. The APT includes three independent units: a two-year
Foundation Course, a two-year Accreditation Course and a one-year Practice
Training with the direct supervision of Franco Santoro.

The Operative Training in Astroshamanism, which can
also be taken during the Foundation Course, is a requirement for participation,
as well as an interview and a series of introductory sessions with Franco.
Astroshamanic formation is also aimed at training shamanic practitioners who
wish to draw inspiration from this work, integrate it with other methods,
support other lineages and traditions, or develop their own method, without
necessarily becoming astroshamanic practitioners.

For further
details or information please contact us at info@astroshamanism.org.

Please be aware that we do not offer any form of fortune telling, future prediction or astrological character analysis, which we firmly oppose. Thegreatest mistake you can do with astrology is to believe that the stars and planets have an influence on your life. We develop our traits based on our life experience and not on our date of birth. Your personal horoscope shows what you are not, what you have been conditioned to see as yourself, your separate self and all its illusions. We employ astrology only as a strategic map of the separate human psyche and as a method for determining the division of time.
